CONSIDERS ESTABLISHING GLOBAL MEDIUM TERM NOTE PROGRAMME
Avation PLC (LSE: AVAP) ("Avation" or the "Company"), the commercial passenger aircraft leasing company, announces that, subject to market conditions, it proposes to develop a global medium term note program (the "Programme").
The Programme will be for offerings of notes by Avation, or affiliates of Avation, in various tranches up to US$500,000,000. The interest rate, offering price and other terms will be determined at the time of pricing of any offering, and any such offering shall be made, if at all, subject to market conditions. The Programme is intended to create a more efficient and flexible capital structure for the Company and allow the Company to potentially be less reliant on equity issuance when considering the financing of new aircraft and the acquisition of leased aircraft.
